LRP ESC for WK Crawler

[1RCbasher2NV]

I am thinking of using this esc with a 45t lathe in my wheely King crawler.Please LMK what you guys think of,I am just getting into crawling and don't know much.I built my Wk for crawling and mudding and need it waterproof.Any advice would be appreciated!!

Also,45t Lathe or 45t Handwound Lathe??

I think the esc is more like $37 at HobbyTown

I bought 2 LRP's within about 3 days of eachother, not the waterproof ones though. I have the Super Reverse ditigal. They were $59.00 each at LHS.
One went out after about 5 minutes run time, and has been sent back to LRP. The other is still working. I would NEVER buy another LRP again.
I've used $29.00 Tazer 15t's not advertised as waterproof, and had great luck with them. I'd buy a Tazer 15t and balloon it, over an LRP any day.
I guess that could be my negitive experience with mine going out after 5 minutes of dry run time, and having to wait who knows how long to get it back from LRP. I've had to go out and spend the $ to replace it with another, since the crawling season has begun here and I can't have a crawler sitting here waiting on LRP to return/replace thier POS ESC.

I can leave you a 3rd crappy comment for LRP as well.

Had one in a TC4 RTR(aftermarket speedo from LRP because someone stole the one out of the box) dropped in a team orion 14t double. First run poof it was gone. Well, got that replaced, and by my own mistake, hit wet spot on the ground a burnt up a second one, and it was ballooned.
